The average indicator for Europeans who have indicated their willingness to report to the competent authorities about a crime, criminal incident or vandalism in their region is about 15 per cent, according to European statistics.
Being prepared to report a crime, criminal act or vandalism - Bulgaria is an indisputable leader in the EU with 25 per cent willingness of the population to report to the competent authorities about such an act.
About 20 percent of Italians are willing to report a crime, as well as about 18 percent of Dutch and English. At the opposite pole, only 3 per cent of the Croats were willing to cooperate with the competent authorities, as well as 5 per cent of the Lithuanians and Poles.
